DBpedia is a community effort to extract structured information from Wikipedia and to make this information available on the Web. DBpedia allows you to ask sophisticated queries against Wikipedia, and to link other data sets on the Web to Wikipedia data. We hope this will make it easier for the amazing amount of information in Wikipedia to be used in new and interesting ways, and that it might inspire new mechanisms for navigating, linking and improving the encyclopaedia itself.

Tagpedia is a semantic reference useful to create sense-based descriptions of resources over the Web. In this way it wants to provide support to a better organization and access to semantically described Web contents in order to improve the management and the search for useful information.
